Exactly.
The one and only time I had it I got the flu and the vaccine was of no help.
Took me longer to get over it then I had previously when I didn’t have the flu vaccination.

Captains Run Today Wednesday :
Counted 25 out there, usually there are 26, (22 plus 4 emergencies one of which will be medi-sub).
Of note:
*There was no Soldo or Dusty.
*Both Lambo & Shedda were out there
*Balta did a couple of ruck drills so may be the relief ruckmen I'm guessing from playing forward?
*Tarrant & Gibcus will probably be first up with defence duties?
*Lynch good to go.
Ross, JNR, Mansel, Hugo in the 25 out there, (NO George).
Have the left a last minute spot for Dust?, (seriously doubt it).

Dimma has ruled out Dusty in his presser.
No debutants this week but a "young mid" will come in - So I'd say its Dow, just my guess.
No Dow not in squad if they want a mid it will be Ross if they want a pressure forward probably JNR.
By the way reckon Dow had his worst game for the club in the two's last week and needs to bounce back.
Other players have had the flu gone through same time off and Dimma doing exactly the same but when it’s Dusty you smell a rat but other players you’re ok with it “facepalm”
Did he say young mid? I thought he commented it would be a young player and was talking about "helping out up there" ie in the forward line so I was thinking MRJ
In 2019 we had a nasty strain of the flu come thru , we had approx 7 mil people vax’d and approx 1000 deaths
There are around 80-90 viable mutations of influenza and ATAGI sit 4 times a year and study laboratory results from around the world and mandate which strains this seasons jabs should cover
That feeds into a tender process which the big drug companies participate in , the federal government procures enough doses to cover our under 5 , over 70 and people at risk and they get it for free
Private clinics and pharmacies purchase their vacincines and those are the ones that most of us pay for
Depending on the vaccine and strain of flu the efficacy is between 40-60%
While that doesn’t sound great from an individuals point of view , from a governments view they want to reduce deaths and hospital stays . The cost to the nation would be quite high if we were completely unvaxxd
All the stuff you’ve heard ad neusem the past couple of years about Covid
I found I’d get a nasty flu every 5-7 years , one year I couldn’t get out of bed for a footy final
I didn’t get the flu vax back then , but since I hit my 50’s I get it every year
agree he's struggled but thought his best game last week ....
I got that. Never been so crook. Sleep 14 hours, get up, lie on couch, nap. Get up, go back to bed. Repeat for 10 days.
I had covid last week. It felt like a nasty flu for a few days. What was weird and concerning to me was the way the symptoms would ramp up and disappear over the day. I also had these weird sensations across my chest like my heart was being squeezed and brain fog. It does make you wonder what the hell the virus is doing to your body to evoke those feelings and you hope it hasn't burrowed in somewhere for some long term issues. I do feel 100% after 2 weeks but I haven't tried to do anything more strenuous than feeding the chooks. I've had 4 vaccines.
